Termite fumigation is a specialized treatment often used when drywood termite infestations have penetrated deep into a building’s structural timbers. This process treats the entire structure, making it an extremely reliable method for reaching areas inaccessible to more standard treatments and for eliminating deep-seated termite populations. At Gregory Pest Solutions, we combine state-certified fumigation expertise with a genuine commitment to doing right by your home or business.
Your property is sealed beneath a fumigation tent and filled with Termidor® insecticide gas that penetrates every wall void, beam, and truss. This process wipes out drywood termites at every life cycle stage and reaches areas inaccessible to standard treatments. Unlike spot treatments that target localized areas, whole-structure fumigation reaches the colonies you can't see, delivering complete elimination in a single, carefully controlled treatment.
Unfortunately, termite damage is often severe before it becomes visible—and is rarely covered by building insurance—so accurate identification and timely treatment are essential to reduce the damage.
Drywood termites live entirely inside structural timbers, attics, and hardwood framing without needing contact with the soil. Because they do not crawl through treated ground barriers or visit soil bait stations, whole-structure gas fumigation is an effective way to eliminate them.

With decades of fumigation experience, Gregory Pest Solutions is the trusted choice for eliminating termite threats across North and South Carolina. Fumigation is a highly regulated procedure, and every job is carried out by state-certified operators in full compliance with state and federal requirements.
A licensed technician confirms the species and extent of the infestation, then walks you through a clear preparation plan and treatment timeline tailored to your property's size and construction.
With your home safely tented, our certified fumigators introduce the treatment and monitor conditions throughout to ensure the gas permeates the structure and eliminates active drywood termite populations living inside.
The tent is removed, and the structure is thoroughly aerated until certified safe. We confirm clearance readings and follow up on any remaining risk factors, so you can move back in with confidence.
A little preparation keeps your family, pets, and belongings safe and helps the treatment go smoothly. Your Gregory technician will provide a full checklist, but here's what to expect:

Most fumigations take between 24 and 72 hours from tenting to safe re-entry, depending on your property's size, construction, and the severity of the infestation. You'll need to arrange to stay elsewhere for the full duration. Your Gregory technician will give you a precise timeline before treatment begins so you can plan with confidence.
Yes, when performed correctly. Fumigation is carried out only by state-certified operators following strict state and federal safety protocols, and the structure is fully aerated and cleared before anyone returns. For your safety, all people, pets, and plants must be removed beforehand, and no one should re-enter until our fumigators give the official all-clear. Your technician will walk you through every safety step in advance.
No. The fumigant dissipates completely during aeration and leaves no residue behind, so there's no need to wash dishes, linens, clothing, or surfaces once you return. Any food or medication you double-bagged as directed will be safe to unseal and use as normal.
Yes. Fumigation eliminates the current infestation, but it doesn't prevent future termites from returning. We offer ongoing termite protection plans and bonds so your home or business stays defended year-round. Ask your technician about our preventive plan for complete, lasting results.
